About Transformers The Headmasters

Transformers The Headmasters (トランスフォーマー・ザ☆ヘッドマスターズ) arrives as an adventure anime by Toei Animation (1987), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Headmasters begins with Galvatron leading a new batch of Destrons to wage war on Seibertron, the Destron Headmasters. The Cybertrons are rescued by the arrival of the Cybertron Headmasters, led by Fortress (Cerebros, the head of Fortress Maximus).

Along the way, it is revealed that Fortress left Seibertron millions of years ago in search of energy, and have finally managed to come home. He explains that the Headmasters are from a planet called Master; the human-sized robots who live there built themselves Transformers-sized bodies. They can then transform themselves into the heads of the robots, and have now joined the Cybertron-Destron war.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Convoy (Tesshou Genda) and Soundwave (Issei Masamune) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. At 35 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
